I’m having trouble posting a video/pic but will work on adding them after.
Background:
I have a mixed flock. Currently have 3 pullets I got as chicks in May. Over the summer I noticed blood in two of their stools. Treated everyone with Corid for a week and it cleared up. I personally feel like...
I have two barred rock hens on their first molt. They’re my most problematic hens in general. Both of them are molting pretty hard. Whole sections just completely bare. I can see new feathers coming in. No rooster. No hen pecking. They are having excessive diarrhea. Poop that is just basically...
